Here is how you make Garden Pasta Salad for a Crowd ( can be halved or quartered):

Cook the Dreamfields pasta first, any shape works well. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Lots of veggie chopping. I use a mandolin to slice and to cut fine dice, and my fingers to break up the broccoli and cauliflower to get the pieces very small. When all the veggies are prepped, make three additions to the pasta, adding 1/3 of veggies and 1/3 of dressing each time. Fold carefully to distribute the colors and dressing well. Chill for several hours or overnight to allow flavors to develop. This is a beautiful salad. More veggies than pasta.
